totally constructive




these are some works that I have done before just to do something constructive. just to satisfy my constructivist creativity. they didn't satisfy me in the end but I think they are worth to share. and I don't deny that I was inspired by my favourite artist I. Chernikov

construction project I.T.U







I've changed my construction project idea that I blogged here before... It was something that I expected. the professors didn't liked it :). but I didn't give up with my constructivist style I made a more simple design with similar forms. actually my project is in more advanced level right now but I think these sketches are best way to express the ideas of the project. I'll manage to add here the advenced images of the project soon






constructivist styled buildings in izmit

It was the first time that I rewieved my homecity izmit with my constructivist architecture thoughts I coulnd't come across with so many examples in the city but there are some interesting examples worth to show. In the first two pictures you can see the people's house which has been built in early republic times of Turkey. It exposed to many renovation and restoration projects till today and actually these renovations killed most of its constructivist appearance. The color,the materials are all changed. But the building still keeps its form with its tower and half circle plan shaped front part so it's still keeping its situaion to being the constructivist icon of izmit








izmit is mostly an industralized city there are lots of factories and industrial buildings around and I think this gives the reflection of industrialism idea to the city center's architecture most of the buildings in the city center gives me the feeling of constructivism. maybe I am mistaken I don't know... it was just a feeling. (ignore the stupid roof added lately to the building in the second picture below) I will try to add the other constructivist building examples in izmit later
